Steph stops, glancing at her work, furious. He was fine to let her help before, now suddenly it's crap?

She drops her handful of gluing snow and turns to head straight for the red hide tent, shoulders stiff and angry. Her pack is still at the back of the hide tent, and she already knows the small tent inside it will keep out a blizzard as long as she stays inside, keeps the layers on. Modern technology wins anyway. This whole thing was a stupid idea. She'll call Hal after the storm, she thinks, stalking away, and then stops dead in the snow because did she really just think about leaving?

No. No way. She'll wait out the stupid storm in her own stupid little tent and she'll stay and help her stupid, stupid boyfriend whether he wants her to or not.
